Tips to help you raise your interest and your performance in Spanish:
Turn on the Spanish subtitles whenever you watch a DVD
Listen to music in Spanish. (Where to start? Try the Itunes Store: ITunes Latino. Check out "What's Hot")
Subscribe to Podcasts in Spanish. You can take these (news, sports, comedy, etc) with you anywhere on an MP3 player. Podcasts are available FREE at the ITunes store.
Read current events in Spanish once a week. (Newspaper sites are listed under Enlaces Útiles.)
Read in Spanish: childrens books, magazines, or novels. Check out what the class library holds.
Watch Spanish film. Spain and Mexico produce great cinema - it's a good way to learn and appreciate culture, too.
Find Spanish speakers in your community, and hang out with them.
Designate time to think in Spanish. For example: Make morning time into Spanish Time. Try to think only in Spanish while you get ready in the mornings.
Travel.
Sign up for an exchange program - live and study abroad! This is the best way to learn. Ask your teacher to help you find a program
